Here’s some exciting news

I just wanted to take a second and share a bit of exciting news.  I've been working really hard to get this blog back to where Lost and Tired was, prior to retiring it. It's been a long journey and I've struggled quite a bit. I'll probably continue to struggle at times as I continue to move forward.  Having said that, things have begun to pick up and while some of these things have no impact on income, in many ways they're better.  I'm booked for several different podcasts in the coming weeks. There's been several interview and partnership requests as well. I've even received some writing offers. I can't go into more detail than this at the moment but I'll definitely share when I have more information.  All the…

Here’s what happened tonight 

Lizze and I had a really quiet night tonight. We caught up on some shows and just enjoyed the stress free time. While Lizze was sleeping, I made some major progress on bringing the My Autism Help Forums back online and a part of The Autism Dad site. You'll notice a new tab at the top of this page called Forums. That will take you to the support forums. I'm working on better integration but for now, you have to sign up and sign in to use the forums, if you haven't already. If you signed up previously, you should be good to go. Facebook connect works and that's the fastest way to get up and going. Feel free to check it out.  I also updated the mobile app and…

I’m being interviewed today

Fun fact, I'm getting interviewed this morning by Susan Wheeler-Hall BSW, NGH. Susan is an Author, Coach, Educator, Speaker and Radio Host.  She'll be interviewing me around 11 am this morning. I'm not sure what we'll be talking about but it should be fun. The boys are home from school today and I'm hoping they will cooperate.. ☺

I have a MAJOR confession to make

My wife loves watching Dr. Phil and over the years, I've picked up a few things. The biggest thing I've taken away from the many years of my wife watching his show is that you can't change what you don't acknowledge.  I'm very much aware of my being overweight but I'm having a really hard time holding myself accountable.  My thought is that if I confess my weight to all of you and share my plans for weight loss, as well as my goals, perhaps this might help me to remain motivated.  Here's the deal and the absolute humiliating truth. I weigh about 318 lbs. I carry it well but the weight is a huge problem for me.  It all began after I suffered a major, career ending back injury…

Great News

I've spent the last day and a half scrubbing the database and rebuilding the core of this site from scratch in an effort to figure out what's been going on with the commenting. There were also a few other backend issues I had to track down and deal with as well.  I'm really sorry about the mess around here since last night but the downtime was worth it because everything is fixed.   Part of the issue resided in the comment meta data within the commenting database.  It took forever to clean everything up and put it all back together but it's working now.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to recover a few comments from the last couple of days. I was searching through over 2,000 from the last year and…

Things have changed and I need your opinion

I've been a bit disconnected lately and I apologize for that. To say that I'm spread thin would be a relative understatement. I'm really trying to stay on top of everything but not always doing the best job. Not only does that present itself here but also in my daily life.   I want to make a quick announcement before I head off to bed.  Some of you have reached out because comments you've left here have been disappearing. I cannot for the life of me, figure out what's going on.  Here's the facts: Comments made are disappearing after being submitted They are not caught in spam filter They are not being deleted or moderated in any way Comments show in the recent comments widget I receive email notifications of…

What the hell just happened? 

I have no idea when you'll be reading this because I have no idea when my server will be restored. Bluehost has had a massive outage and my server has been down for the longest period of time since I started blogging over eight years ago.  I've been sorta lost cause I always write before going to bed and tonight my routine has been thrown off. Anyway, I hope this outage gets resolved ASAP.
